Summary
Anakin refuses to leave his mother behind in slavery if she'll never be freed. Qui-Gon never comes back, but Obi-Wan does. When he does, he's... different. Darker. Fallen. Even so, he carries through with his unspoken promise to train Anakin, though the boy will never become a Jedi. Perhaps that means Anakin will be able to fulfill his childhood dream of freeing the slaves.
